We combine customer needs and problem solving. To do this, we identify pain points, build prototypes to ask the right questions and receive valuable customer answers.

We gain customer insights and improve the product iteratively, with and for the customers’ benefit. We manage and apply the complete innovation process, following the path from user research to problem analysis to prototypes and testing. A systematic design thinking approach allows us to identify, validate and prototype digital business models – until we can hand over a proven minimum viable product to the respective business sector where it’s brought to market. Because viable always means you can sell it.
